Marquise Engagement Ring for Tiny Finger |

My ring size is 1.5, and I want a marquise diamond for my engagement ring. There does not seem to be too many options for settings, but I like the pave and channel settings thus far. My finger is about 2.5 inches long, so I prefer the width of the setting not to be overpowering. Does anyone know of designs that are classy and elegant? I prefer something clean and simple where the focus is on the marquise diamond (without using a solitaire setting). Thanks for your help!  *Also, I like the marquise set north/south. I am open to a solitaire setting, but not to a halo setting. Does a marquise look better with round or princess diamonds in the setting? |

If I were to have a marquise, I would pick something like these, tapered baguettes or pears

Also, In my honest opinion, I wouldn't set a marquise in a channel setting with rounds as I think it will look dated (80's). Just a personal preference

I'm sorry - you said your finger size is a 1.5? Good LORD! I think you might have won the prize!

HI: I wish I could copy/paste a picture of the Damiani solitaire marquise setting that is stunning, but alas I cannot. However, if you search their website, the ring can be found under "Collections" and under that heading, toggle the thumbnail "Forme della Femminilita. It is the single marquise stone setting. http://www.damiani.com/www/ cheers--Sharon "People who possess great qualities, do not need to show off". |

Have you looked at Blue Nile yet, they have alot of options that fall into your requests for a marquise. Also you can purchase them in a set too and that way you have both the engagement ring and wedding band in your size. I would call them to see if they can do it in that size. By the way that is the smallest ring size I have read postson, that is the size of my pencil.

This marquise is massive - pushing 6 ct... but the setting is interesting. _________________________________ |

How about something delicate and simple like this setting: http://www.jamesallen.com/products/item_412-2072.asp It's pave set, but has the look of a channel with the metal edge. I think a pave setting might look more delicate on a small hand than channel, but this is just my opinion.

K-I agree and I love that pave setting! I think it would look even more delicate with a marquise cut in it. That is similar to one I saw on Blue Nile. There are lot of options I think!

Ninama - Is this is a channel setting with princess cut diamonds? Is it called a cathedral setting when the diamond is raised up? All of them are really pretty, but this one suits my taste so far. Sorry, I tried posting directly to your reply...new to posting on forums, so I'm not sure how to do so.

Wow, the Damiani is really unique! Why is it called a navette-cut? Does anyone know of any jewelers that carry the Damiani line in California? I'm so disappointed because I was just in NY, so I could have seen it in person.

Date: 11/28/2007 1:19:04 PM Ah, I'm getting the hang of posting now. I like this setting also. I think you're right about the pave because I would also have to wear my wedding band.

Date: 11/28/2007 12:49:38 PM That must be huge! I saw a 4 ct Graff marquise diamond that was D and IF at Saks this past weekend that was $250k. It was really impressive.

Chic.Shopper, you have very petite fingers and marquise diamonds tend to look large for their weight. I have a size 4.5 finger and a 1.17 carat marquise solitaire that people regularly guess is over 2 carats. I bet a .75 carat stone would look huge on your finger. I found this chart very helpful in selecting a well cut marquise: http://www.gemappraisers.com/oldcutgraderules.asp I really like the James Allen pave cathedral setting KCoursolle posted. ETA: This wedding band looks like it might match.
